Carrying around the Death of Christ
Today, there is a high probability that we are feeling very concerned about our situations – after all: There are fewer jobs We experience a high cost of living We’re concerned as to how we will pay our debt, and… We witness a failing economy and infrastructure...
Born for Now – Part One
“…If you don't speak up now, we will somehow get help, but you and your family will be killed. It could be that you were made queen for a time like this!”[1] A few articles ago, we looked at the topics ‘Destiny’ and ‘Following the Herd.’ In these two articles, we...
Born for Now – Part Two
“…If you don't speak up now, we will somehow get help, but you and your family will be killed. It could be that you were made queen for a time like this!”[1] We started with the story of Queen Esther last month. Today, I will refresh us all on the importance of her...
Cleaning our Temple
Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the merchants and their customers. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the stalls of those selling doves. He said, "The Scriptures declare, 'My Temple will be called a place of prayer,' but you have...
Does this float your Boat?
The story in the book of Matthew about the disciple Peter walking on the water, is very interesting. It was an exercise for the disciple to have his faith in Jesus stretched. In the scripture, Jesus sends His disciples out to the other side of the Sea of Galilee,...
God’s Appointment
Have you ever wondered how it is that some of the circumstances of our day are really annoying? We plan our day to the best of our ability but somehow things don’t turn out the way we would like. As I write this, I’m sitting in a queue at a bank – patiently...
God’s Franchise
A franchise is a type of license that a party (franchisee) acquires to allow them to have access to a business's proprietary knowledge, processes and trademarks in order to allow the party to sell a product or provide a service under the business's name....
Standing in Court… with God
In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus shares the parable of the poor widow seeking the Judge for legal protection from her adversary. Being a widow, and not having a husband to help or protect her, her request came from a very sincere and burdened heart. She had a clear need to...
God’s Line of Authority
But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11: 3) Seek God’s HeartAnytime we come across issues which may lead to contention in the body, we should seek God’s heart in the...
How Deep is your Well?
How lovely it would be to have our own personal drinking Well? The water at the bottom of a natural source is beautiful. Cool, clear and full of natural minerals – untainted by the outside world. Drinking water from a Well such as this would certainly have health...
Prove to Me God Exists
Someone asked me. ‘You’re a Christian right? How do you know that all this talk of God and the Bible are for real? I mean, imagine if when you die you discover there is no truth in what you believed?’ Well I’d rather not arrive after death as an unbeliever and...
How Does Free Will Affect My Faith?
“And God saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.”[1] “…except the one that has the power to let you know the difference between right and wrong. If you eat any fruit from...
Secularism and Religious Intolerance
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[1] You may wonder what the above scripture has to do...
Does God Allow Us to be Tried?
"There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."[1] Does God allow us to be...
These Things Are Sent To Try Us
One of my mother’s sayings was: ‘These things are sent to try us.’ I don’t know the origin of this statement, but I suspect someone formed the idea after reading scriptures from the Old Testament. There is always a certain amount of misunderstanding in the...

"If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin..”
